__The link: * Access the data directory* is available in the section*Dataset description sheets; Additional information*__. The Harvest and other silvicultural interventions mapping is produced as part of the ecoforest inventory of southern Quebec in order to maintain an up-to-date portrait of the forest. Several stakeholders related to forest operations participate in maintaining this forest portrait, including the Regional Operations Sector of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forests (MRNF), private forest development agencies and major landowners. This map contains information on forest interventions carried out on the territory (e.g. harvesting, thinning, reforestation) as well as the year of the work. The period of work begins at the beginning of the 20th century (when information is available) to the present day. The associated information is presented as a series of overlays of interventions. This map covers the commercial territory of public forests and private forests in Quebec. The minimum mapping area is 0.1 ha. Note: When there is more than one intervention on the same territory during the same year, priority is given to the one that changes the forest cover in a sustainable manner (e.g. planting). To have access to all the interventions for the same year (in public forests only), please consult the technical and financial activity reports (RATF) distributed by the Ministry's Regional Operations Sector on the government website of Data Québec.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

Operational Integrated Forest Management Plans (PAFIO) contain areas where wood harvesting and other forest management activities (e.g. non-commercial silvicultural work and roads) are planned in accordance with tactical plans. They are updated on a regular basis. A special management plan (PAS) can also be prepared in order to recover wood and plan the return to production of areas affected by a natural or human disturbance. Updates and changes to the PAFIOs are subject to public consultation when a new intervention area or infrastructure is added to the plan or when an intervention area, infrastructure, or forest management standard identified in the plan is modified. Citizens and organizations can then express their opinion on these new planning intentions. The PASs are also subject to public consultation when the minister considers that their implementation is not urgent. Following public consultations, the Minister adjusts and specifies the development activities that he or she integrates into the plans, as required, before they are implemented. The data provided below correspond to the preliminary versions of PAS and draft updates or changes to PAFIO as they were at the time of the public consultations.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**
